In the ever-evolving world of PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, the lobby has never been just a pit stop. It is a stage, a billboard, and sometimes a player’s personal victory lap. Back in 2022, the PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS team introduced Lobby Customization and soon after launched the “What’s in my PUBG lobby?” event. The goal was simple: encourage players to decorate their lobbies and show them off to the world. The response was nothing short of electric. The team was stunned and glad to see so many players participating. Support poured in from every corner of the community, and the event became a celebration of creativity, identity, and good old-fashioned bragging rights. 🎉

When the dust settled, 300 players were randomly selected to receive 1,000 G-Coin each. The reward was meant to support their lobby decoration, giving winners a little extra fuel for their next masterpiece. There was a catch, though: the G-Coin had to be used within 30 days. In other words, winners could not let their prize gather dust—they had to strike while the iron was hot. 💰

The distribution schedule rolled out across time zones:

Region	Time
PDT	October 28, 2022, 0 AM
CEST	October 28, 2022, 9 AM
KST	October 28, 2022, 4 PM

Without further ado, the team announced the winners. The list was published, and congratulations rang out across social media. For many players, seeing their name on the list was no small feat. It was proof that their lobby had caught the community’s eye. Even so, the team added a sobering note: even if a player appeared on the list, unidentified accounts might not receive rewards without notice. That warning was a reminder to keep account details shipshape. 🏆

The event did not end with the winner announcement. The team laid out important notes about personal information, submissions, and rewards. Additional personal information could be requested and collected from winners for account verification and reward distribution. Social media posts had to be public—everyone could see them—without viewer restrictions during the event period and until rewards were granted. Participants who submitted screenshots or videos that were not their own would be immediately disqualified, and rewards could be withdrawn even after receipt. Players were advised not to change their PUBG nickname before receiving their reward, because doing so could create difficulties during the process.

There were also broader permissions. Screenshots and videos could be used in KRAFTON and/or PUBG’s official channels. Winners’ screenshots and videos could be used by the company for promotional purposes, and they could be transformed freely during that process. The rewarded G-Coins had to be used within 30 days. If winners had trouble receiving rewards, they were told to reach out to PUBG Support. It was a classic case of reading the fine print—because in gaming, as in life, the devil is in the details. 📅

By 2026, the gaming landscape has changed, but the spirit of that lobby customization challenge still echoes. It showed that players do not just want to win matches; they want to express themselves. A lobby can be a canvas, a flex, and a calling card. The 300 winners may have received 1,000 G-Coin, but the real prize was the spotlight. The event encouraged players to make their mark, and it reminded everyone that community creativity is a powerful thing.

For those who missed it, the lesson is simple: when a game gives you a canvas, do not just paint by numbers. Go big, stay original, and keep your posts public. And if fortune smiles on you, spend those G-Coins before the clock runs out. After all, a reward unused is like a chicken dinner without the chicken. 🍗

Congratulations to all the winners, and thank you to everyone who participated. See you on the next event.
